"Moving?" The second sister Wei Ying was sewing a torn silk dress. When she heard Wei He mentioning buying a house, she paused and looked up, a little surprised.
"Well, I bought a house nearby, so we don't have to go back to my hometown." Wei He nodded seriously.
The house that Wei Ying lived in was only a few square meters in size. Apart from a bed, a table and chairs, there was nothing else.
Even the windows are sealed.
It's really just a place to sleep.
"But...where do we get so much money? The house is so expensive..." Wei Ying didn't believe it.
"It's not expensive now." Wei He answered after being silent for a moment.
"...Really..." Wei Ying lowered her head and did not move the needle and thread in her hand for a while.
However, she recovered quickly, with a happy look on her face.
"Then this way, we can finally live together. I am always worried about you even if we are separated.
You didn't let me come over to clean up before, saying it was dangerous... But now the news about you has spread among the surrounding neighbors. Who doesn't know that you are Mr. Zheng's disciple here? Everyone says that you are very powerful and very up-to-date!
If my parents and eldest sister know this news..." Speaking of her parents and eldest sister, Wei Ying's voice broke, but she paused and did not remember this anymore.
"Then when will we move?" Wei Ying asked.
"Now. It's the lunch break. I'll go back and say something to Senior Brother Cheng," Wei He said.
"Okay, by the way, Mr. Zheng said earlier that you were back. Go to him. He has something to explain." Wei Ying suddenly said.
"Me? Just me?" Wei He was stunned. He was just an ordinary disciple in the courtyard, with no outstanding performance. Normally, Mr. Zheng would not specifically name him.
"Not only that, before you came back, several people were called over to talk." Wei Ying replied.
"I know, I'll go there after moving the things." Wei He nodded.
Wei Ying also wanted to ask what happened on the way to the escort, but Wei He ignored her in a few words.
Fortunately, the escort trip before was quite safe, and Wei Ying did not doubt that he was there.
Both of them came from poor families and were quick in their movements. In addition, Wei Ying didn't have much luggage. Many things were already in Zheng's house.
Within half an hour, they were all moved over.
After moving the things, Wei He returned to the Huishanquan courtyard. Before he entered the door, he saw Xiao Ran being picked up by a white carriage.
He shook his head in his mind, but there was no change on his face, so he continued to push the door open and enter.
In the yard, several fellow apprentices have already begun to practice hard. They are all newcomers.
Generally, when new talents enter the profession, they work very hard. Once they stabilize, they will realize that simple hard training without a good rest will not lead to improvement, and they will form their own practice habits.
Wei He didn't know each other very well. The only one he knew well was Li Jue.
He nodded distantly to Li Jue as a greeting, and then walked directly to the inner room.
The inner room is a rectangular space.
Zheng Laozheng was half leaning in a corner, sitting on a mahogany chair with shiny armrests. There was already a senior brother waiting in front of him.
When Wei He went over, Mr. Zheng didn't say anything. He just pointed his hand slightly and pointed to a location.
Wei He walked over and stood there, waiting quietly.
After a while, two more disciples came in and stood waiting on the side.
Finally senior brother Zhao Hong walked in.
"Everyone is here." Mr. Zheng said calmly. "Hong'er, tell them the general situation. Since you have entered my door, you must be aware of it. The situation in this city is getting worse and worse. Everyone must
Be careful."
"Yes." Zhao Hong bowed his head and said respectfully.
Mr. Zheng then picked up the chicken feet on one side and started to chew them slowly.
It seems that he intends to watch and make supplements.
Zhao Hong cleared his throat and looked at the four brothers present.
"I've said it twice before, and I'm going to say it again today for those of you who haven't heard it."
He paused for a moment, glanced at Mr. Zheng, and found that he had no intention of giving any instructions, so he continued.
"The rest of the disciples who have not yet started are not counted as our Huishan Quan members, they can only be regarded as apprentices. Life and death of apprentices and apprentices are not within our care. Even if they go out, no one will think that they are our Huishan Quan members.
But you are different. You are all people who have entered the sect, and you are all people whose Qi and blood have broken through once. When you step out, you can represent us and return to Shanquan.
So today, I am here to set up a charter for everyone and explain what is good and what is good."
The four people including Wei He nodded, indicating that they were listening carefully.
Zhao Hong nodded slightly with satisfaction and continued: "In this city, except for the small gangs and small gates, which will change every two days, don't pay attention to them. What you really need to pay attention to are the three gangs and the two factions.
The three gangs are the Shanchuan Gang, the Bloody Clothes Gang, and the Tongcheng Gang. Although these three gangs have a large number of people, the peripheral gangs do not need to pay too much attention to them. As long as they meet the core gangs, they should pay attention. Don't provoke them easily. I will tell you later.
I will tell you about the core marking characteristics of the three gangs.
In addition, when you pass by those sick houses on weekdays, do not stop and stay away as much as possible. Recently, the plague in the city has become more and more serious..."
He said some things to note about the plague.
Wei He listened quietly to the side until the end. Zhao Hong talked about a lot of characteristics of people infected with the plague.
Mr. Zheng on the side couldn't help interrupting.
"Okay, okay, let's get right to the last point."
"Yes." Zhao Hong nodded quickly, "There are three gangs and two factions in Feiye City, but these are all located in the outer city area.
The inner city is completely different from where we are. Most of the business land there is occupied by seven families, so it is generally called the Seven Family Alliance.
These seven alliances and the Hongjia Fort outside the city are what I want to say. Feiye City should not provoke the most powerful forces.
When you go out and encounter people from the Qijiameng and Hongjiabao in the inner city, try to stay away and avoid any conflicts."
Seven Family Alliance... Wei He's heart moved. He recalled that during the escort trip, the head escort chief Cheng Kai also mentioned the conflict between the Hongjiabao and the city guard family.
I think one of these seven alliances must have a city guard family.
After a lot of chattering, several people finally noticed that Senior Brother Zhao Hong, who usually doesn't speak much but is always verbose when he speaks.
In the end, Mr. Zheng couldn't help but interrupt him and asked the four of them to go out to practice.
When Wei He went out, he looked back and saw his senior brother with his head lowered being scolded by Mr. Zheng. He couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Returning to the corner of his yard, Wei He saw that Cheng Shaojiu was already waiting aside.
The two of them each set up their own equipment and prepared to start grinding.
"I heard about this incident. Thank you for your hard work." Cheng Shaojiu said in a low voice.
"It's okay. Since I agreed, I should do it." Wei He shook his head.
He had been receiving wages from the Cheng family for such a long time, so he had already anticipated that the escort would be in danger.
"In short, be careful when going out." Cheng Shaojiu sighed, "Actually, I have wanted to go out as a escort for a long time, but my father refused. What do you think is the use of practicing martial arts so hard every day?"
"..." Wei He was speechless.
After a moment of silence, he recalled the monster in the darkness he had encountered before, and spoke in a low voice.
"Senior brother, do you know who the black lunatic we met on our escort trip was?"
"Black madman is the collective name for wild beasts that hunt at night. I asked my father about the two people who died that day, but he didn't know. They seemed to be beasts that had never appeared before." Cheng Shaojiu shook his head.
Wei He was silent when he heard this. He originally thought that the outside of the city was not as dangerous as he thought, but when he came down, the two of them were gone.
Cheng Shaojiu lowered his head and hit the sand basin hard.
After a while, he suddenly looked up.
"How old are you, Xiaohe?"
"Seventeen..." Wei He didn't know why, but he still answered.
"Seventeen...How about I find you a good girl?" Cheng Shaojiu suddenly said something.
"..." Wei He couldn't keep up with his train of thought.
"Anyway, just listen to me. I promise to find you someone who is absolutely virtuous and gentle!" Cheng Shaojiu said, patting his chest.
These days, many people give birth to their own children at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and Wei He should have reached this age as well.
It's just that he has been busy practicing and has no such plan.
"..." Wei He was speechless. Senior Brother Cheng seems to have a lot of thoughts recently. This is not good and is not conducive to the advancement of martial arts.
Afterwards, the two of them stopped talking and began to focus on their own training.
Wei He practiced for a while, and while wiping his sweat, he opened his collar and took a look at the pattern of his Realm Breaking Beads.
It has increased again. After this half-month escort trip, the progress has been increased from half of the previous progress to more than half.
About a quarter more.
As if nothing had happened, he continued to practice hard. According to the information in his mind, he must use the Realm-Breaking Bead to break through it only when he reaches a level.
Therefore, he himself must polish and strengthen the Qi and blood at the cowhide level to the extreme.
When he reaches the ultimate level of qi and blood at the cowhide level, he will be able to use the realm-breaking beads to break through.
His mind fell silent at the moment, and he continued to focus on the skin polishing.
It is not enough for Qi and blood to grow. You must also expand the volume of your own container in order to hold more Qi and blood.
This is the role of skin resurfacing practice.
It's just that his qualifications are limited and he is far from a genius like Xiao Ran. He can only accumulate bit by bit and move forward.
Soon, time passed slowly.
Wei He and his second sister moved into their new home, and invited their third senior brother and Li Jue to come over for dinner to help them find their way there.
Nothing unexpected happened after that.
I get up early and come home late every day, practicing martial arts hard and polishing myself. The days flow by like water droplets on a bamboo tube in the yard.
As for what Cheng Shaojiu said about introducing girls, Wei He didn't take it to heart at all.
Now that he doesn't have time to change his living conditions, he doesn't have the time to think about these things.
Plus in today's world.
Prices on the street are changing day by day, becoming more and more chaotic. It is said that the inflow of large amounts of privately minted silver has made silver increasingly worthless.
Gradually, many shop stalls stopped accepting cashiers, and began to use cloth, meat, and rice as transaction standards.
But prices have risen too much, and when you take out money, sometimes if the amount is a little larger, you have to carry a sack of money when you go out. This is also disliked by more and more people.
Recalling that Wei Ying worked so hard in the beginning and only earned a few dozen taels, she must have lost money. Wei He asked her to not collect cash anymore and only need rice and meat.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
"It's almost, it's almost..." Wei He took his hands out of the slightly hot stone sand and quickly soaked them in the potion basin nearby.
Feel that your hands are constantly cooling down, and at the same time, the hot Qi and blood in your body are being rapidly reconciled, and you feel a faint sense of strength.
Wei He felt comfortable in his heart.
He could feel that the energy and blood in his body had taken another step forward. At the cowhide level, he had already reached the middle section.
This speed is neither good nor bad. There are many people around who are at the same speed as him.
There are even many faster than him.
Among the dozen or so naughty disciples, his progress is considered mediocre.
